226-232 High Street - Physical Description 1
The row is two-storey and rendered. The parapets have vermiculated piers and are surmounted by pediments. The cornice is bracketed. The double hung sash windows are grouped in pairs and have rendered moulded architraves hoods and sills. The wall surface is articulated with widely spaced horizontal bands. Blind hoods survive on 226 but the upper panes on 230 have been sheeted over and an air unit added to 228.
The original cast iron post verandahs have been replaced with cantilever verandahs and the shop fronts have been all extensively altered, except at No 232 High Street. The render has been painted in various colours, obscuring the unity of the rows, and a panel applied to No 230 obstructs the fenestration.
